DELRAY BEACH -- A Delray Beach man has been charged with sexual battery on a child under 12 after a girl, 5, complained he molested her at a hotel pool, police said.

Donald Roberts, 40, was charged on Monday, two days after the Delray Beach girl`s mother told police that Roberts touched the child while playing with her in the pool at the Holiday Inn Camino Real, 1229 E. Atlantic Ave.

The girl ran to her mother and complained that Roberts hurt her, police said.

Roberts denied the allegations when questioned by police.
